I am a firm believer in wearing good protective gear at all times, but wearing my leathers today I nearly melted, I was hot and bothered and not happy. Any recommendations for good gear for the few hot days we get in this country?

What makes me froth at the mouth is letting kids go as pillion dressed the same way. Kids trust adults to do the best for them. That isn't the best, IMO.

Seen this today guy on a gixxer shorts tshirt and on the back was a young girl no more than 6 with shorts and a vest top on... WTF...

I just feel sorry for the guys who have to clean up the bodies

I also think that if people choose not to wear full gear, fair enough. However, whilst it's their skin, it's hospital staff's time, and money we've all paid that will be going towards fixing their stupid skin and repairing all the holes they've made in themselves.

If they've got private health cover I don't give a **** though! hehe

that said there's an article going about on bikers having crashes due to loss of concentration due to being to hot It said if you are 40, slightly overweight and leathered up you could be in danger of losing control of fainting. I'm 40, 13.5 stone, unfit and with full leathers. Was this article just about me????

Where's my man-kini??

Yeah I read that too as it happens, dare say there's some sense in it, depends on the person and situation I suppose. I'm just learning how not to die, not melting too much in leather yet, as long as i'm moving!

I'm all in favour of proper gear BUT we need to remember that we live in a free country and it's up to individuals to make lifestyle choices.
